Put your circle shape in the air,
Hold it high and keep it there.
Put your circle shape on your back,
Now please lay it on your lap.
Put your circle shape on your toes,
Now please hold it by your nose.
Hold your circle shape in your hand,

Wave your your circle shape at the door,

Hold your circle shape and jump, jump, jump,
Now throw your circle shape way, way up.
